In the original history, the Americans used the Luzon rebel army to force the Spaniards in Manila, when the rebel army was 15,000 people, and Manila's colonial servant army did not exceed 3,000 people, in the face of absolute inferior troops, the Spaniards in Manila chose to surrender very well, after the war, the United States established a pro-American government in Luzon, so as to fully control Luzon, Luzon also became the first overseas colony of the United States.
Li Mu also had this idea, but in the original history, the pro-American government in Luzon did not have the participation of the Chinese, so after the establishment of the pro-American government, the living conditions of the Chinese did not improve significantly, and now it is different, because of the intervention of the Far East Company, Li Mu has the opportunity to set up a pro-American government dominated by the Chinese in Luzon, which makes no difference to the Americans, and the Americans do not care whether the Luzon government is controlled by the Luzon Chinese or the indigenous Luzon people, as long as the new government is "pro-American" If the new government is dominated by the Luzon Chinese, then the living environment of the Luzon Chinese will definitely be greatly improved compared with before, and even in a few decades, Luzon has the opportunity to become a predominantly Chinese-dominated country like Singapore.
Oh, Singapore is still called the Lion City, not an independent country, with the guidance of the Far East Company, Li Mu believes that the future of Luzon will be more in line with the interests of the Chinese.
With such a guiding ideology, Jimmy's attitude towards the indigenous Luzon was even worse than that of Austin, and Austin had to rely on the native natives to fight against the Spaniards, and Jimmy did not have an urgent need in this regard, and the mercenaries of the Far Eastern Company alone could turn Luzon upside down, and the local natives could not change this fact.
Of course, with the addition of local natives, it will definitely reduce the cost of the Far East company, which is also a good thing, so Jimmy did not change the status quo of the rebel army.
On August 15, the merchant ship "Far Eastern Star" from the Ryukyus brought Jimmy and Austin the first batch of supplies, including 3,000 single-shot rifles, 1,500 shotguns and pistols, and explosives urgently needed by the rebels.
"Sure enough, our Ryukyu was raised by our stepmother, I remember that except for the pitiful support at the beginning, we didn't get any supplies from the country, and now we have to pay money to buy weapons, and the people in the weapon company are going crazy, and they are all in the eyes of money."
Looking at the mountains of supplies, Austin was full of vinegar.
"Come on, you think we didn't spend any money, let me tell you, a big son is not less, the Far East Company is the Far East Company, and the Junma Group is the Junma Group, if you knew how much money was spent on these broken equipment, you wouldn't say that."
Jimmy is also helpless, if you want to say that the mercenaries of the Ryukyus are raised by the mother, then the Far East Company is the same, carefully speaking, the benefits of the Far East Company are even worse than the Ryukyus, after all, even if it is these single-shot rifles, the Horse Weapons Company is also sold according to the price of the magazine rifle, and these rifles are still second-hand goods that have been eliminated in the United States, and the rifling in the chamber of the gun is estimated to have been smoothed, and it is estimated that there is still a point within a hundred meters, and a hundred meters away, the accuracy is probably about the same as shooting birds with random guns.
"Haha, I'll just say, our Mr.
Ream can't be so kind."
Austin's mentality immediately balanced, raised his hand to pick up a rifle, pulled the bolt to check the chamber, and immediately threw it aside with a look of disgust.
"Isn't there a gun repair shop in the Ryukyus, I guess they can fix the rags?"
Jimmy faces reality and hopes that these weapons will do their job.
"Don't think about it, even if it can be repaired, it is estimated that the gun station is not interested in this, besides, do you have enough gold" Austin knew the current situation of the Ryukyus, and had no plans at all.
"Yes, we have so many loot, we have to play a role."
Jimmy has confidence, in the United States, the mercenaries are all poor ghosts, living at the bottom of the society, once in the Far East, the mercenaries immediately have additional income, compared to the previous embarrassing life, the current mercenaries are simply rich.
The so-called cannon sounded a thousand taels of gold, this is not wrong at all, although the local natives of Luzon have nothing to grow, the Spaniards living in Luzon are very rich, these Spaniards live like an emperor in Luzon, this is the source of wealth for the mercenaries, just a few days ago, the rebels conquered a Spanish manor, the gold in the vault alone has more than a thousand pounds, and there is a large amount of silver and various precious stones, and the richness of the seizure makes Jimmy jaw-dropping.
The Spaniards are also sad, many Spaniards have lived in Luzon for several generations, and as a result, the savings of several generations have now been swept away by the mercenaries.
"No, I don't want to spend my own money, I'm going to buy a farm in Hawaii."
Austin didn't pull out a dime, and Austin also had Austin's share in the spoils, and Austin didn't want to watch his fortune shrink.
"Why Hawaii" Jimmy is intrigued, for mercenaries, if they can use the money they save to buy a farm when they retire, this should be the best destination for mercenaries.
Strange to say, the longer you stay on the battlefield, the more you look forward to a peaceful life, for example, for Austin, even if he is asked to retire and go to New York, Austin is not very willing, the leisurely life on the farm is what Austen yearns for, as for why he chose Hawaii, this is purely a personal hobby.
"Why not Hawaii, think about it, sun, sand, passionate Hawaiian girls, you should pass by Hawaii when you come, don't you have a little impression of Hawaii" Austin seems to have been longing for Hawaii for a long time, or he will not remember it so vividly.
Jimmy certainly remembers, Jimmy still remembers the bonfires at the Molokai Island Resort, and remembers Rotten Bill, but if Jimmy had to choose, Jimmy probably wouldn't choose Hawaii, and Jimmy prefers rural Indiana farms to Hawaii: "Everyone likes sun and sand, but if I was asked to live in Hawaii I wouldn't want to, I'd rather live in Indiana, I've bought a 1,500-acre farm in Indiana, and you're welcome to visit in the future." ” "Indiana, that's a really good place, I've heard that there are a lot of Chinese farmers there, and I think it must be interesting."
Everyone has their own ambitions, Austin will not impose his will on others, but if there is a chance to be a guest, it is okay, Austin likes Jimmy, although they have not known each other for a long time, it is obvious that Jimmy has been approved by Austen.
After a brief handover ceremony, Jimmy and Austin returned all supplies to Maragon, the site of the rebels' temporary headquarters, a Spanish-built castle that had belonged to a declining Spanish aristocrat and was now the spoils of mercenary warfare.
Like many cities established by the Chinese in the United States, the first thing Jimmy did when he came to Maragon was to establish the temporary health regulations in Maragon, although the Far East Company distributed the corresponding medicines, but in the tropics, the most effective way to deal with infectious diseases was prevention, and the temporary health regulations were formulated for these infectious diseases.
With the constraints of the temporary sanitary regulations, not to mention other aspects of Maragon, the level of hygiene and cleanliness in Luzon is absolutely second to none, thanks to the strict enforcement of the law by the mercenaries, the mercenaries do not discriminate on this issue, whether they are Chinese or indigenous, as long as they violate the temporary health regulations, the punishment is the same, the light is flogging, the heavy is confinement, after the initial discomfort, good hygiene habits begin to slowly develop.
As the de facto commanders of the rebels, both Jimmy and Austin lived in the castle, and in fact only mercenaries were eligible to live in the castle, and the others, even mid-level officers of the rebels, had to live in the houses outside the castle like ordinary soldiers.
"New weapons should be given priority to equipping Chinese people, and other local natives will not give them even if they perform well, anyway, those natives are cannon fodder, even if they are given the best weapons, it makes no sense."
Austin's favoritism is obvious, but Jimmy and Austin are highly aligned on this issue.
"We now have nearly 3,000 people, shouldn't we make it clear that the command of the troops is always so secretive, it's time to play our banner."
Jimmy is not worried about the equipment of the troops, and Du Yu is more concerned about the organizational structure.
"What to say" Austin seems to have no heart and lungs, but this must be an illusion, if Austin is so heartless, it is impossible for Bai Qi to send Austin to Luzon.
"We need a leader so that the rebel army can be justified, or we will have to show it sooner or later, two Americans received a just war in Luzon against the Spanish colonists, what is going on" Jimmy has a lot of experience in rebellion, and since the size of the rebel army has reached 3,000 people, it is time to put forward his own political program.
"Lin Xianghai is quite suitable, there are all kinds of national enemies and family hatreds, and he is willing to scatter his family wealth in order to expel the Spanish colonists, and he is a perfect leader."
Austin didn't bring private goods, Lin Xianghai is indeed the most suitable.
"Not now, let's launch a leader at this time, which is equivalent to erecting a target for the Spaniards, if we push Lin Xianghai up now, then the Chinese in Manila will bear the wrath of the Spaniards, so we need a local indigenous leader, he must have enough appeal and influence, and he must be able to fully attract the firepower of the Spaniards."
Jimmy didn't want to push the Chinese to the front of the stage right now, the rafters that came out first rotted first, and the last laugh could be the best laugh.
Just like in the Cuban War of Independence, it is estimated that when Cespedes sent people to the United States for help, he did not expect that it would be easy to invite God, and he, the "revolutionary pioneer", became a wave that was shot to death on the beach.
There are countless examples of this in Chinese history, such as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the end of the Qin Dynasty, who sounded the clarion call against the tyrannical Qin, but it was Liu Bang who became emperor in the end.
"It's easy to find such a person, but if you can't find it, let's make one."
Austin is also smart and clever, and immediately draws inferences, three-legged toads are not easy to find, and there are many two-legged people.

In late August, a rebel leader named "Junjun" suddenly appeared in Luzon, "Junjun" was originally named Fernand Gonzalez Jr., he was a standard native of Luzon, all of whom had a Spanish name, because in 1849, the Spanish governor in Luzon, Claveria, ordered that all Luzon names must conform to Spanish tradition, and this decree was accompanied by a surname list for Luzon people to choose from village to village according to the region, so in Luzon, it was often a town or a village to share the same surname, This has nothing to do with blood, even Lin Xianghai has a Spanish name, but Lin Xianghai has never been ashamed to mention it.
According to the Spaniards who escaped from the hands of the king, every time a male Spanish colonist was caught, the king would use cruel means to commit violence, and finally the captives were brutally executed, and the fate of women was even more tragic, they often became camp prostitutes under the king, suffering all kinds of humiliation, and they could not survive and die.
Don't think that the Spanish colonizers will win the love of the natives by favoring the natives in the struggle between the natives and the Chinese, Junjun's power has developed rapidly, from the end of August to the beginning of October, in less than two months, Junjun's power has spread throughout the northern half of Luzon Island, Manila has begun to be harassed by Junjun's men, in this case, the Spanish governor in Luzon Zangwille finally issued a crusade order, ordering Junjun and his men to surrender before December, and the Governor's Office will not be to blame, otherwise, the Governor's Office will send troops to fight head-on, when the time comes, all the rebels will be tied to the gallows.
You can't blame the Governor's Office for its slow response, in fact, the Governor's Office has noticed this rebel force in the middle of the year, as the Governor, Zangwill has the obligation to ensure the stability of the colony, but before sending troops to clear it, Zangwill must first obtain the authorization in Spain, this back and forth is half a year, and when Zangwill gets the authorization he wants, the development of the rebel army is unstoppable, so Zangwill's first choice is Huairou, according to the previous experience, as long as you give those natives a little benefit, The natives will be satisfied, and perhaps the mighty revolt will disappear.
It seems that the method is a little stupid, in fact, such fools can be seen everywhere in history, why didn't Xiang Yu kill Liu Bang at the Hongmen banquet, why did King Zhou You want to play the princes of the Beacon Fire Theater, why didn't the Americans believe that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, why didn't Stalin believe that the Germans attacked the Soviet Union Looking at history from the conclusion of history, everyone is drunk and I am sober, and only when I am in it can I understand that a drink and a peck have their own destiny
